Since several of you have seen fit to "modify" my original statement, I will follow your examples. This more properly states the irony I was trying to point out.
A person who is dishonest , but freely admits it, is seen as "refreshingly honest".
i.e. by admitting to being dishonest, a person could be seen to be refreshingly honest. Honest is honest and dishonest is dishonest, whether it is for a penny or a million dollars.
